2065 In the Beginning by Krista Markowitz

Krista Markowitz is the author of 2065 In the Beginning, a story about life 30 years past a sudden blast of universal understanding that changed everything. People worldwide have dropped the money standard to join in living and learning Pods where food and energy are locally grown, resources are shared, and creativity is celebrated. Here is a letter she shared with us to share with you:

For years, perhaps much like you, I dreamed about peace coming to our planet. When I felt sad about all the conflict and disconnect on Earth I had several cozy pictures to crawl into. In one vignette, colorfully dressed people from all over the world are sharing delicious foods and conversation at a long table. (Can you hear their laughter?) And in another, a group of men, women and children are dancing in the streets at night in their formerly dangerous neighborhood.

But how, I wondered, can we move from the consciousness of fear, separateness and inequality that characterizes our current world to this place of Oneness? How would the structures have to change, and what would create that change? I had no answer.

Walking on a path by the ocean in August 2009, I had a waking vision. My gaze was drawn upward where three ribbons of light streaked across the sky, one above the other― blue, violet and white. Next I saw a woman’s hand with glowing fibers forming a web under her skin, and tiny lights of different colors blinking on and off. What was this? I began to sense this was something about the future.

A week later I heard a man’s voice in the center of my head. “This is a book, Krista. Do you want to do it?” I answered mentally “Sure, I do!” And almost immediately the playful and thought provoking story of Jeori and his friends living and learning in Art Pod in the years 2064 and 2065 began forming. I wrote quickly, unconcerned whether these visions contained truth.  

Four months into writing I discovered this in Karen Bishop’s blog, Wings. (Google “Karen Bishop” for her current activities.)

January, 2010

We are beginning now, and will continue with this process, of coming together in like-minded pods, as we form small groups of individuals who resonate with each other, and who will in time, begin creating with each other, and will as well, support each other in sustaining themselves.    

As I read this, a shiver ran up my spine. This was what my story was all about! Four more months and the first draft of my book was complete. And after numerous revisions, 2065 In the Beginning became available in April, 2011 through Amazon.

Then last summer I found an even more complete description of the changes to come in Lauren Gorgo’s colorful channeled blog, Think with Your Heart. www.thinkwithyourheart.net.

Wheel of Fortune: The Turning Point

Those who are drawn to work within the blueprint of new earth will be brought together in soul clusters, or pods, to begin the community level organizing that is required to bring the bigger (divine) plan into form.  We will be brought into alignment with those who share our particular vision/plan/contribution/aspect of the new earth to begin the next phase where we unite with our soul-community to share our greater visions with the outside world. These creations will be the proverbial Phoenix, rising from the ashes of the intensive global purification process.

Soon after this a friend sent me the link to Jae Sabol’s beautifully designed plans for One Community! Whoo-hooooo!!! A community of like-hearted individuals was already forming, a clearly conceptualized pattern of living and working to support each other aiming for an eco-friendly existence and nearly total self-sufficiency. And the magical “hobbity” houses were even called pods!

I could instantly feel how the meaning of the word pod could expand from the current concept into a future when whole communities would carry that name! I could also feel how One Community and other similar communities ― based on trust and working and learning together ― might one day morph into the well established, largely self-sustaining yet interconnected communities shown in my book, with economies based entirely on sharing and borrowing― with a plan of bartering goods and services with distant pods ― and with each pod having a different educational/experiential thrust.

As Lauren channeled, the global purification process is of course taking place right now in the largest of ways. Anything without integrity is quickly coming up to the surface, exposed in the growing light. Nothing can hide anymore. What divine chaos! And divine it is… every perpetrator of unfairness and debauchery a teacher playing out the extremes of separation to make clear our choices. And as frustration at the widespread misuse of our resources rises, the urge for new ways of living is gaining steam. We are seeing with increasing clarity that big business, big government, big medicine, big religion—all these big machines run for the accumulation of money, not on human kindness. So perhaps the only way to positive change is to take away the incentive. The term “too big to fail” starts to feel ridiculous as we find ourselves living an outdated pattern “too big to succeed.”  Think fall of Rome….

After I finished writing 2065 In the Beginning I noticed that every single trigger point in our world today, every label used to incite suspicion and separateness was gone from that future. The world finally made sense.

I feel confident that this day is coming. Regardless of political or religious leaning, people are beginning to feel the urge for not just incremental, but substantial change, and to realize that if you can only trust your friends then perhaps it is time to try different ways of living with your trusted friends.

As I share the ideas in 2065 In the Beginning, people are starting to bring to me stories of self-styled communities, either already formed or in the beginning stages of creation. A few communities, one notably in Tennessee and one in Oregon have been active for many years. While giving a talk at a book store on the Big Island of Hawaii, I heard about a group of circus performer friends who have formed a self-styled community near Hilo. Members regularly go into local schools to teach juggling and other circus skills. My friend David, who lives in Israel, told me of a friend in Spain who bought a big piece of land intending to sell off parts to his friends with the idea of forming a community. I sent David the link to One Community to share with this friend. A local woman without family recently mentioned that she has been having recurrent dreams of forming a community with her closest friends for mutual support in her later years. The idea is emerging everywhere!

In preparation we would each do well to search our souls and do some individual work. For community building is not simply external. It starts with a heart refusing to judge what is happening as wrong, a heart refusing to judge the teachers, sometimes acting as buffoons, sometimes as racists, sexists, extremists or whatever as bad. How difficult it must be for a complete and beautiful soul to come to Earth with the agreement to play the bad penny to expose “the negatory.” These souls willingly sacrificed their integrity and their deepest knowing to give us this chance at change.

Remember also that shouting down others only decreases our own vibration. It lessens our joy and thus diminishes our ability to create a better life for ourselves and in extension a better world. May we gracefully move towards what we want, as we quietly but surely walk away from what we don’t!

With the well conceived plans of Jae Sabol and his friends, One Community Ranch is an inspiring motif for other heart-centered communities of the future, and I’m excited about being part of the process, of helping extend the web of connection between the dreamers and the creators. This is how we will move into the Age of Unity that has long been prophesized, forming connections and surfing the waves of change.

Now take a moment with me to feel into the future. Feel into a world fueled by compassion, a world without fear, without greed and guilt, without lack and without judgment. Feel into the freedom, into the creative flowering, into the joy and completeness this will mean. Sit a minute in this space of clarity and fullness…and watch something old and tired release as you breathe it in.

Feel yourself a part of something monumental. This is the reason we stood in line to be born during these often  confusing and amazing times of transition…the I AM coming right here, right now to this little blue world floating in space.
